Subtle tones..




Well my ladies I'm not 100% colors addicted  :) Today a neutral look with white and tan; and one more new thing about me is the fact I made a lot of necklaces like this one here, you will see them all in time... Everything started in collage, 6-7 years ago... me and my friend Ana we put a lot of  passion, patience and hours of work in this jewelry but we really enjoyed the result and of course wearing them.This one here is recently made, simple and it didn't take too much work :)) I simplify the whole process :)

five dollar investment

Last fall, while on a rare solo trip to Lowe's, I found myself wondering outside playing "if I had a million dollars I would do X with my yard" when I saw a man working to move a small group of sad little trees. "These trees have just been marked down to $5 for anyone who wants them. I don't want to have to move them!" Uhh, me please! I right away laid claim to the least 'on the verge of dying' one I could pick out and left with a smile on my face. Luke helped me plant the poor sucker, and for a while, I wasn't sure if it would last. But this little sucker has shot up out of no where this spring/summer and is now producing the most beautiful foliage in my yard. In a neighborhood full of Oaks (beautiful trees but not known for their fall color) the little $5-tree-that-could provides some nice cheery fall color. Best five dollars I could have spent.

Happy $5 tree

“I’m 74 and I’m Tired” – by Bill Cosby

I’m 74. Except for brief period in
the 50′s when I was doing my National Service, I’ve worked hard since I was 17.
Except for some some serious health challenges, I put in 50-hour weeks, and
didn’t call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn’t
inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy,
it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I’m tired. Very tired.


I’m
tired
of being told that I have to “spread the
wealth” to people who don’t have my work ethic. I’m tired of being told the
government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to
people too lazy to earn it.

I’m
tired
of being told that Islam is a “Religion
of Peace,” when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing
their sisters, wives and daughters for their family “honour”; of Muslims rioting
over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they
aren’t “believers”; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning
teenage rape victims to death for “adultery”; of Muslims mutilating the genitals
of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur’an and Shari’a law
tells them to.

I‘m
tired
of being told that out of “tolerance for
other cultures” we must let Saudi
Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques and
mandrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia, New Zealand, UK, America
and Canada, while no one from these countries are allowed to fund a church,
synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other Arab country to teach
love and tolerance..

I’m
tired
of being told I must lower my living
standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to
debate.

I’m
tired
of being told that drug addicts have a
disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do.
Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up
their noses or stick a needle in their arm while they tried to fight it
off?

I’m
tired
of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers
and politicians of all parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes
or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting
caught. I’m tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.

I’m really
tired
of people who don’t take responsibility
for their lives and actions I’m tired of hearing them blame the government, or
discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.

I’m also tired and fed up
with seeing young men and women in their teens and early 20′s bedeck themselves
in tattoos and face studs, thereby making themselves un-employable and claiming
money from the Government.

Yes, I’m damn
tired.
But I’m also glad to be 74.. Because,
mostly, I’m not going to have to see the world these people are making. I’m just
sorry for my granddaughter and her children. Thank God I’m on the way out and
not on the way in.

Print and Colors






 I've been collecting shirts for a couples of years and it never feels like they are too many :) The truth is that  they are versatile and never go out of style, at least not in my closet :) Something silky, like this shirt, goes well with everything; I parried it up with color blocking and nude leather jacket  for a walk in the city...

Yellow Mellow













       The yellow sweater makes my day brighter; the electric blue adds energy to it and makes the eyes open widely... for a walk in the park :) Hope everyone enjoys those beautiful days of Fall.
